Savannah: I don't know what it is, but no thread here escapes alive. You'll get 1 or 2 real answers at minimum, occasionally 10 or 12, and then we flog it until it's unrecognizable and you can't get your deposit back.

Re: Segways -- if you advertised on Kickstarter or otherwise got an art grant, the guys on Segways are probably some of your patrons. Go ahead and mock them if you really want to look like a bigger idiot than they are.

Bob: I am known for biting the hand that feeds . Sorry something about the undecorated segways rolling around the playa really irk me. And something about the handful of people I have seen standing on their segways, watching the man burn, touring the temple or just otherwise being glued to them seems to irk me even more. I'm not a fan of segways, to me they represent a level of elitist lazyness that I cannot and will not encourage.

People usually don't read an entire long list, so make sure that if people are going to read only 3, they're the MUST KNOWS... Like: Don't dive, don't set on fire, watch for splinters. And then everything else.

Also, if the sign is going to say "rules", then you need to word things as rules. Just to nitpick, two examples:

6 is a good rule. It tells you what to do. 8 is not a rule, it's a statement. I'd suggest either re-wording it as a command ("Wear clothes. Or not any at all.") or to put a different sign up with Tips for Enjoyment of this Pier.
